From a collection of DATs, probably masters.  At the beginning of the band intros, Gary Scruggs says that it's nice to be back at the "Orange Festival" again.  Just before the encore, he says "see you next week at this locality" for the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Fesitval  So the date may be wrong, or Gary Scruggs could be really confused.  We may never know.

The first four minutes were very quiet with occasional level changes.  This has been sorted out somewhat.  Stick with it, it's all fine after that.

Enjoy!
